ATLANTA (AP) — Starting price is $208 for Monday night's Louisville-Michigan NCAA championship game tickets on Ticketstub.com.
A little rich for your blood? The Division II and Division III championship games are a budget-friendly alternative.
There was no charge for tickets for Sunday's games at Philips Arena. That's right, free.
Because no tickets were sold, there was no official attendance figure for Sunday's D-3 game in which Amherst beat Mary Hardin-Baylor 87-70, but the main bottom bowl of the arena was at least three-quarters full. The upper-level seats were covered by a curtain, but even so it would have been a good draw for a typical NBA Atlanta Hawks game.
Metro State was to play Drury in the Division II game later Sunday afternoon.

The traditional role of the American Physical Society has been to serve the physics community through the organization of technical meetings and publication of journals. Beginning in 1973, however, the Society undertook to expand its role to serve emerging public needs. As one component of its concern with the relationship between physics and public policy, the Society has undertaken a number of studies of timely technical issues. The final decision on the release of these studies is made by the APS Council, with advice from the Panel On Public Affairs (POPA) and from a Review Panel appointed by the Council.
Over the past two decades the APS Council has authorized POPA to initiate small-scale studies on topics ranging from energy and environment to national security issues. In this process, POPA secures outside funding, if necessary, and establishes the Study Group. These studies, when read and accepted by the Panel (but not reviewed by the APS Council), become POPA Reports.
POPA Reports are unclassified, so as to allow for broad public discussion of the topic. Limiting these reports to unclassified material has proven to be a benefit to advocacy, as evidenced by the formation of new federal programs in response to the Nuclear Forensics and Nuclear Power & Proliferation Resistance reports.
In exceptional circumstances, where the integrity and thoroughness of a report requires awareness of classified information, POPA insures that some members of the Report committee have appropriate clearance and are provided an environment where classified briefings and discussions can take place.
In 2001, POPA began to post Occasional Papers written by its members, in order to foster discussion within the physics community. These papers are approved by the Panel prior to being posted.
POPA is now accepting ideas and proposals from APS members for future studies and reports.

SAN CLEMENTE, California - The Quarterfinalists have been decided at the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star PRIME 6.0 Lowers Pro and four ASP World Tour surfers, two locals, the defending champion and a young Hawaiian are the only competitors left standing out of the 128-man-draw that made up the prestigious event. Kai Barger (Haiku, HI), 19, reigning ASP World Junior Champion, led the top seeds in Oakley Pro Junior competition and issued the top scores of the day.
All surfers on the ASP WQS are looking to capitalize on the valuable ratings points towards qualification for the ASP World Tour, with the series top 15 competitors earning a berth on to the coveted series at year's end. All ASP North America Pro Junior Series surfers are looking to finish within the top five in their region so they can earn their chance to compete in Narrabeen, Australia in an attempt to take the title of ASP World Junior Champion.
Dusty Payne (Lahaina, HI), 20, issued one of the day's biggest upsets when he ousted ASP World Tour surfer and Lower Trestles local Chris Ward (San Clemente, CA), 30, from competition while earning his Quarterfinals berth. Payne needed a six-point-score to advance from his heat over Ward, and posted a 6.5 out of 10 with only 10 seconds remaining to advance.
"I try not to get nervous when I need a score because you tend to fall," Payne said. "Plus, once you get nervous, you can't move the way you want to move. I just try to stay positive and I know if a wave comes I know I can get it, but, yea, I'm just glad that's over."
The young regular-footer was elated with the heat victory over Ward, who is his biggest surfing inspiration.
"He's my favorite surfer, period," Payne said. "Growing up, he was always my idol and I'd watch his surfing and just try and do what he does. I'm just so happy right now."
Nathan Yeomans (San Clemente, CA), 27, who posted the highest heat total of the day on Wednesday, continued his tear on Trestles when he defeated ASP World Tour sophomore and aerial specialist Dane Reynolds (Ventura, CA), 23, on the way to his Quarterfinals berth in tough afternoon conditions.
"I saw that draw coming up a while back and I knew it was either going to be C.J. (Hobgood) or Dane (Reynolds) and obviously they're both amazing surfers," Yeomans said. "The conditions kind of deteriorated, but you can't count them out any time. I decided to just catch waves, build my momentum and get some scores going and it worked in my favor."
The Lower Trestles local is putting his superior knowledge of the famed pointbreak to good use in order to gain his fare share of the ratings points on offer towards qualification for next year's ASP World Tour. Yeomans was sitting in the No. 21 position before entering the event, and is now guaranteed a fifth place finish in the ASP 6-Star PRIME contest, which will significantly help his cause on The Grind this year.
"It's insane that Nike 6.0 stepped up and made this contest a 6-Star PRIME," Yeomans said. "To be at home and get that many points is great and I think this is going to be a huge confidence booster and a good one for the rest of the year."
Fredrick Patacchia (North Shore, HI), 27, was a top performer in today's 6.0 Lowers Pro competition and convincingly surfed his way to the Quarterfinals with two heat wins. The goofy-footer is enjoying a brief respite from ASP World Tour competition to compete amongst some old friends at the ASP 6-Star PRIME event.
"I just like surfing competitions and a lot of my friends surf in this event," Patacchia said. "I like to come down here and hopefully draw them in a heat, because it brings us back to the old school amateur days."
Patacchia's Round 5 heat resembled an ASP World Tour contest when he battled fellow ASP Dream Tour surfer Damien Hobgood (Satellite Beach, FL), 29, in the man-on-man format. The Hawaiian continued his standout showing when he eliminated Hobgood from the event and is utilizing the tough competition at the 6.0 Lowers Pro to prepare for the ASP World Tour event held at Lower Trestles in the fall, the Hurley Pro.
"That heat was a lot of pressure," Patacchia said. "Man-on-man builds up that pressure because you have to win. You can't get second and the Hobgoods are great competitors and gentlemen, but it's a good warm up for us for the World Tour contest here, the Hurley Pro."
Barger's opening heat of the ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior explained why he's the defending ASP World Junior Champion. The talented Hawaiian demolished a Lowers righthander on his backhand with several tail-drifting blasts to earn an amazing 9.93 out of 10. Barger followed up with an 8.73 to leave his fellow competitors in a combination situation while logging in the highest heat total of the day.
"The first thing that happened was I saw that other kid on the Hurley team (Conner Coffin) get a 7 and I got a bit freaked out," Barger said. "I told myself I have to get the next one and not fall. I just put my head down and hit it as hard as I could and as soon as I came out of it I did it again."
Barger is looking to have a successful campaign at the Oakley Pro Junior, especially since Lower Trestles is one of his favorite waves. The newly crowned champ is also feeling some pressure to post impressive results due to his recent success.
"I just want to do especially good at this place because it's one of my favorite waves," Barger said. "I felt a lot of pressure because I hadn't made a heat out here in so long and to lose two in a row would have been terrible. I need to do better."
Oakley Pro Junior Quarterfinalists will be the first to take to the water tomorrow at 8am. The opening heat will see Andrew Doheny (USA), Koa Smith (HAW), Kiron Jabour (HAW) and Miguel Pupo (BRA).
Oakley Pro Junior Round of 32 Results: (1st and 2nd advance)

Robots form band, rock out to Marilyn Manson
Droids are back in town
The music world is a difficult cookie to crack. In most cases, all revenue is funnelled into a cigar-smoking businessman's pocket after a group of robots churn out some pre-programmed bollocks.
But when the robots are programmed to act like humans and not the other way around, things start to get interesting.
Here we see the 'EOL Robot Band' cover Marilyn Manson's The Beautiful People. It does quite a good job of it too.
The group is made up of a robotic cello, guitar, drummer and the all important scanner, all meticulously programmed and fitted with mechanics to rock out to the gothic anthem almost perfectly.
YouTube uploader bd594 is no stranger to robotic music and has posted various footage of other covers from the B52's Rock Lobster to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
Blow up a few dolls, add some dark lighting with smoke machines, and we might not notice much of a difference. Rave against the machine, baby. ®

Cars and cyclists mix at the busy entrance to Foothill Crossing Shopping Center on Homestead Road. A stoplight is scheduled for installation at the intersection.
The Los Altos City Council last week unanimously approved an additional $535,328 for upcoming construction along Homestead Road.
Citing the need to improve safety for residents walking and cycling in the area, the council approved the additional funds to extend a 10-foot-wide asphalt pathway from Fallen Leaf Lane to Stevens Creek as part of the Homestead Road Safety Improvement project.
According to a city staff report, the project originally called for the pathway to extend from El Sereno Avenue, near the Foothill Crossing Shopping Center, to Fallen Leaf Lane only. The additional funds will enable the construction of two median islands and an in-pavement lighted crosswalk near the intersection of Fallen Leaf Lane and Homestead Road, among other elements.
The city will use vehicle registration fees, traffic impact fees and $177,100 redirected from the Fremont Avenue Traffic Calming project to fund the additional work. More than $1 million of the project is already paid for through Highway Safety Improvement Program and Proposition 1B funds.
Prior to casting her vote, Councilwoman Megan Satterlee said the project, which also calls for the installation of a traffic signal at Homestead Road and the Foothill Crossing Shopping Center entrance, is sorely needed in the area.
"South Los Altos sometimes feels they don't get the dollars spent on beautification that other parts of town like San Antonio (Road) and downtown might be getting," she said. "So I am perfectly happy to spend the money there. I think it's going to make a big difference in this area."
The council's vote came after Los Altos Public Works Director Jim Gustafson outlined the additional safety options for the project, noting that the funds would partially cover a funding gap. Gustafson's report to the council stated that the lowest contractor base bid came in $300,000 above the city's estimate for the project, expected to begin in May and take seven months to complete.
Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins noted that the project should at minimum include connecting the pathway, the medians and the lighted crosswalk to provide enhanced safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists – including many students – who travel the route daily.
Echoing those sentiments, Satterlee said she supported redirecting money from the Fremont Avenue Traffic Calming project – which in part calls for the installation of roundabouts – to help fund added safety elements such as the pathway connection.
"That's a critical link," she said. "I think that, especially given where we are on the Fremont project, I have no concern at all about redirecting those funds to this project."

Even though it's my job to blog on reality shows, and while I love every housewives franchise for different reasons, I have a hard time following the rumors swirling around the upcoming season of Real Housewives of New Jersey…mainly because it's exhausting. One minute Jacqueline Laurita is bowing out, the next minute most of the cast is being replaced by people who will actually film with Teresa Giudice. Add in the off-again-on-again family relationships and friendships, and my head is spinning!
However, this new gossip is beyond awesome. Two words: Lil' Kim. I'll get back to that later, but it's hilariously amazing. According to sources in the Garden State, all of the women will be returning for another round. Yes, that means we'll all be getting our fill of Jacq, Teresa, Melissa Gorga, Caroline Manzo, and Kathy Wakile. Not only will all of the ladies be back for more, we'll be treated to some additional familiar faces as well as some newcomers. Count on some Kims, that's for sure!

In 2007, Jenn Labit (Cotton Babies/bumGenius) had a goal of bringing members of the cloth diapering industry together during the ABC Kids Expo in an effort to build relationship and work towards a professional working environment for both manufacturers and retailers. Lori Taylor planted the first seeds towards the formation of a trade association during conversations with Jenn prior to the meetings in Las Vegas. With the help of Betsy Thomas and Shirley Murdock (Bummis), the first industry meetings were pulled together during the ABC Kids Expo of 2007. The first manufacturers' meeting was attended by the owners of BabyKicks, bumGenius, Bumkins, Bummis, Happy Heinys and Kissaluvs. The first industry meeting happened the very next night and, while only 14 people had responded to the original invitation, over 40 people were in attendance.
At the close of that meeting, the retailers were directed to join the RDA (Real Diaper Association) and the manufacturers set out to form a new trade association for the manufacturers with the goal of funding research. Over time, it became clear that the retailers really needed to be part of a trade association as well. RDA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a charitable organization, and isn't legally designed to handle the needs of a trade association. With this need in mind, Ann-Marie Speirs (Cozy Baby Boutique), Lori Taylor (Real Diaper Association - President), Angelique Mullen (Real Diaper Association - Treasurer) and Jenn Labit (Cotton Babies / bumGenius) met for dinner at the Green Festival in Seattle, Washington, April 2008 to discuss the next steps towards making this dream a reality. With the support of our Founding Donors, we hired an attorney, asked a group of amazing business people to advise us, and began moving forward.
It has taken some very long hours and the donation of thousands of dollars from manufacturers and retailers, but we have legally formed, in the state of California, as the Real Diaper Industry Association, "a California nonprofit mutual benefit corporation." The IRS has given the organization status as a 501(c)(6) tax exempt organization – a trade association.
We welcome members from all parts of the cloth diapering industry – retailers, manufacturers, diaper services, artisan manufacturers, as well as associate members (like component providers or media members). Together we can build a strong foundation for the success of all of our businesses.
We're excited to be able to present you with the Real Diaper Industry Association.

Thank you! I still have much more homework to do. I was just reading a thread of yours and may have to use 1 drive just for export and 1 as source. I also need to find a good IPS monitor, and an a bit befuddled when it comes to exporting re: codecs and the web, etc. Glad I have the HSoA - Ham Stamp of Approval!
3. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?Harm Millaard Jan 7, 2011 1:58 PM (in response to literally_figurative)
Monitor, I forgot to mention that in my previous post:
Have a look at the Samsung SyncMaster F2380 PVA screen. Much better than a TN screen, not quite up to IPS, but the price is right.
4. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?the_wine_snob Jan 7, 2011 2:02 PM (in response to literally_figurative)
I agree with Harm about the case. I got talked into a very nice, cool (thermally) mid-tower last time, and regretted that. Full-tower, like I wanted, next time.
On a system not that much different than yours (older CPU, but more HDD's and a Quadro FX 4500) I went with a 1000W PSU, and will probably be going with 1200W for the new build. Probably overkill, but then I came from an engineering background, where if an 8" WF beam would just do the job, a 10" WF beam would be better...
Looks good,
5. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?literally_figurative Jan 7, 2011 2:06 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)
I was unsure about PSU, so 750 it is. I'm guessing Corsair is a safe bet? Will also try to do the case upgrade.Will do some research on the syncmaster. I'd like to get an accurate representation of colour.
Also, has anyone dealt with DSLR footage/1080 footage on similar specs? Am I going to get that realtime buttery goodness? What about avg time rendering say a 10 min clip @1080 down to SD size? Sadly unable to play around with any hardware on my own so I have no concept of times.
edit: HARM, not Ham
Thanks for the input, Bill! Mind if I ask what sort of footage or projects you do and are able to handle?

Harm's Stamp of Approval
To get an idea where your machine will come out in the PPBM5 Benchmark pay special attention to Crist and MadDog OC/PC, although his system is heavily overclocked. A score around 270 seconds certainly seems likely, around Q3/Med.

If you want to work in HD, you might also swap out the DVD burner for a Blu-ray burner.
8. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?Steve Ch Jan 8, 2011 1:14 AM (in response to literally_figurative)
A couple of points if I may to make the most of your spend....
Firstly please make sure your understand the scalability restrictions (primarily memory) from going with the Home Premium Windows - as a student, you should get discount so no real need to compromise here (as RAM is currently at a record low price you could but or at least provide for 24GB depending on which other memory-hungry CS5 packages you use!).
Second, the 950 (and 920/930) has an almost-guaranteed overclock to 4.0Ghz, matching up with your memory nicely at 1528 if you choose 21x 191 or so without taking risks with voltages or heat (12GB at full rated speed sometimes gets a little temperamental regarding QPI volts so a little under 1600 is no bad thing). I have found that going above 4.0Ghz, each 5% tends to "cost" a disproportionate increase in volts and heat.
Similarly, the GTX470 has a comfortable 20% free (except for heat) overclock potential (using MSI afterburner plus VERY careful testing for artifacts).
I would perform both of these (free) clocks given your desire for buttery HD performance in the CPU-intensive and MPE-assisted steps of your workflow.
Please also allow some thought and budget for effective & quiet case cooling to deal with the CPU and graphics card heat:
Install the PSU "outside" the case - i.e. at the bottom with its intake facing down and exhausing out the back so its not "in" the case airflow.
Add fans (good quality and with filters on the intake ones) taking air in at the front/bottom (past the disks) and exhausting at the top/back. Consider adding side fan(s) pointed at the graphics card and motherboard bridges/RAM. These side fans can cyt 10 degress C or more off the temp of these components adding to stability and component life.
My own overclocked 930-on-Asus and 470 setup uses fractal fans on the case (about £5 each/1Watt or so) and Gentle Typhoon fans on the CPU cooler - almost silent and keeps both the (overclocked) graphics and (overclocked) CPU at about 70 degress C when at 100% busy.
Finally budget for backup.....my case has Esata on the front panel so quick backup to external drives, used in rotation and placed in a firesafe is my ritual.....your freelance income will be based on reputation so don't lose it along with your work.
9. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?Harm Millaard Jan 8, 2011 1:39 AM (in response to literally_figurative)
Steve's remark made me aware that I overlooked one thing.
You have wisely decided to go for 3 x 4 GB memory, leaving room for expansion to 24 GB at a later date. However Win7 Home Premium does not support more than 16 GB max. You need Win7 Pro for 24 GB support. Better change this OS to the Pro version before you start installing it.
10. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?literally_figurative Jan 8, 2011 3:26 AM (in response to Steve Ch)
Ah right, I was unaware of that restriction on home premium. I have been used to the notion that Home Premium had everything I really needed. Not aymore I suppose! I'm not in the US so no student discount for me, I will just go the OEM route in buying Win7.
I'm sorry, but I am lost with "21x 191" - I have been using laptops for the past 4+ years and I am not too well versed in the hardware. Also, I do not really plan to overclock since I expect moving from laptops to desktops, especially this sort of equipment, it will be PLENTY boost for me to notice. That said, if the overclocking is something STABLE and not going to require watercooling and just fans, as well as it is easy to do, I can surely factor this in. What really goes in to OC'ing to 4 GHz?
Again lost with MSI aferburner. Do you mean your 470 is from MSI or is that a cooler? Sorry for my ignorance.
I'm looking to get the HAF case Harm mentioned. That's what I was going with initially but went down to the mid case because not being in the US I was taking shipping into account. Is there a specific brand I should really be looking at? The HAF has plenty places for fans I read, but I would love to get feedback from people in the field on cases to get. I haven't really looked too much into it, so I have yet to even find out if it offers all the ports in the front as opposed to the back as I know cases like to do.
Also, silly question, but Firewire ports would usually be on your mobo, or would I have to get a separate card? I deal with a lot of 4 pin F/W cameras, but I am not sure if there are 4-pin to 8-pin cables I can buy or if I need to have a specific 4 pin and 8 pin F/W port on my machine.
Esata on front to an external - I got you. What exactly are you backing up? Everything? Just exports? Are you doing it manually or with RAID? I think I made the decision that just getting into things I may not need RAID, and will just use 1TB for system/programs and 2 2TB drives, one for source files, one for exporting to. Another suggestion was RAID the 2 2TB to make one big 4TB.
Though it may not seem that way, I am looking at budget.
As for Blu-ray, I think any HD I will be doing will go on the web, everything else will be output from HD to SD, so I can survive with a DVD burner for now, though maybe the BD burner might be prudent to back up to those high capacity discs?
Appreciate the feedback guys. At least I have the hardware mostly down, but dealing with stuff like the firewire ports, etc, and the whole nitty gritty, can make my head spin and overwhelm at times.
11. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?Jay Knobbe Jan 8, 2011 4:32 AM (in response to literally_figurative)
I just completed my build using the CM 932 HAF-X case and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is with all the fans running. The case is very well built but the manual is worthless if your a NOOB at building, like me.

Is that case a full? How do you like port placement?
13. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?Jay Knobbe Jan 8, 2011 5:10 AM (in response to literally_figurative)
It is a full case. It stands 25" tall with the casters installed, which gives the PSU some breathing room out the bottom. Great airflow. Port placement is fine. This case is very well built, but I don't have experience with other cases like this. I do like the black interior and the fact I can organize and hide the cables. Finished assembly looks neat and tidy.
I have the same CPU cooler as you listed, but with an additional CM fan for a push / pull set up. Probably overkill for me. Also using the same GTX 470 from EVGA. Works fine. not noisy.
This is one of Harms favorite tools...
Plug in your info and see what it recommends for a PSU.
I have a total of 7 HD's, 470 GTX, 5 fans, etc and I needed a 1000w PSU
14. Re: Mind Looking At My Build?literally_figurative Jan 8, 2011 12:33 PM (in response to Jay Knobbe)
Okay, so there may be a slight change in my plans. Taking the shipping into
account, I think it might be more prudent to have a system built with
everything in it as that will help with shipping cost by volume. Any
suggestions for where might be best to do this? Just exploring options right
now. Currently looking at http://www.digitalstormonline.com to do the same
configuration mentioned in original post.

I notice that hard drives, particularly internal hard drives are a lot more expensive than they were 1-2 years ago; does anyone know why? http://luloot.com

Different Ways to Get Kids to Brush Their Teeth
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert
Posted: May 4, 2009
In order to get children to brush their teeth, parents have tried creative and new ways to get them to do so. They need to get the kids to view brushing their teeth as a fun task, and there are various ways that they can accomplish this.
Here are some ideas:
- Get your child acquainted with his or her toothbrush, even if it is not time to brush at that moment.
- Read your child a bedtime story while he or she is brushing.
- Get two brushes- one for the child to play with, chew on, and practice with before brushing teeth with the other one.
- Have your child pretend brush on his or her favorite stuffed animal.
- Make brushing a fun game.
- Play hide-and-seek/chase with your child, and when you find your child, you get to brush his or her teeth.
- Have your child practice brushing your teeth, while you brush his/hers thoroughly.
- Don't share toothbrushes because various bacteria will spread.
- Brush with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, floss often (like after every meal), use mouthrinse, and visit the dentist once every six months minimum.
- Start your kids on a healthy oral routine as young as possible.
- Make toothbrushing fun to encourage them to follow a good oral hygiene routine.

Blade length: 6.00 in.Total length: 10.60 in.Blade height (at heel): 1.60 in.Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.11 in.Item weight: 6.08 oz.Shipment weight: 9.12 oz.Blade: Stainless Damascus san mai blade with a VG10 stainless steel core (Hrc 60 - 61)Handle: Pakka Wood
Description: Honesuki are Japanese boning knives. Great for boning chicken and red meats but also amazing as a general purpose utility knife! The shape provides finger clearance when working over a cutting board. A gentle rock to the blade makes it an optimal chopping knife. The thin, aggressive point makes it even capable of detail tasks where a paring knife would otherwise be used.
This ambidextrous honesuki has a convex grind on both sides of the blade. This grind reduces problems with food sticking to the side of the knife when slicing meats and vegetables.
Construction of the blade begins with bundles of special alloy stainless steel wire which are repeatedly folded together and forge-welded by hand. This time consuming process creates a Jigane (the outside layers of the blade) with a beautiful Damascus pattern. The maker than begins preparation of the Hagane (the middle layer of the blade) by hand forging high carbon steel, alloyed with cobalt. The basic construction of the blade is competed by forge-welding the Hagane between two layers of Jigane. Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles can not become lodged between the tang and the handle. The handle, made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with resin, is riveted to the full length tang and will last a lifetime. The blades are fully honed.

Oxfam aid continues to reach families affected by Haiyan
Cebu, Philippines, 16 November 2013 – Oxfam continues to reach more people affected by typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines as it delivered emergency relief starting on Friday afternoon (15 November) in the northern tip of Cebu.
Hygiene and water purification kits were given to 600 families yesterday in the coastal region of Daanbantayan which was badly affected by the typhoon. 200 families will receive the same kits today.
The hygiene kits contained essentials such as toothbrushes and paste, blankets, sleeping mats and mosquito nets.
Among the residents receiving the Oxfam kits was Sonia Tidino, 32, with her ten-month-old son. She said that the Oxfam kits will help her family start anew.
"When the storm hit, we went to my aunt's house which is made of cement but even that was destroyed. There was so much debris flying around especially the roofs that had blown off. We were also scared about the falling coconut trees," she said.
Another local resident, Annie Postrero Abenasa, 31, who lives who with her husband Christopher Abenasa, and their three children, an eight-month-old boy and two girls, aged two and three, said she is still struggling to understand the enormity of what happened and they desperately need help.
"We are still in shock. I don't know how to react, how to overcome this kind of damage. On that day, all the rooftops were blown away, all the houses damaged," she said.
"My roof was blown away. Our kitchen, the floor are destroyed. My children are in shock," she said.
She said the Oxfam water and hygiene kits would be very useful for her family. "It's a great help to us because we have nothing. Everything in our house was blown away."
In the first phase, Oxfam plans to provide vital assistance in the next few weeks to some 20,000 families affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Oxfam is working very closely with partners to deliver water, basic sanitation, tents and tarpaulins for emergency shelter.
Oxfam will also be supporting households to rebuild their farming and fishing livelihoods, at the same time as getting markets up and running so that food is available in local shops.

The Scientific Linux Forum is not owned, controlled or operated by people officially related to Scientific Linux.
Having said that, they do endorse us. We are listed at their website as their "official unofficial" forum
This forum doesn't focus on scientific use (like powering the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider), nor on business users (powering webservers), nor on laptop users or desktop users. No matter where you use Scientific Linux, we welcome you

The Crew
|Posted by: redman May 10 2011, 08:06 PM
| It has become clear that many that have discovered Scientific Linux (SL) have different ideas on what SL is or what they can expected from SL.
There are also users that think that the Scientific Linux Forum belongs to the developers of SL. That is why we have gathered the following information.
What is Scientific Linux?
Scientific Linux or SL is a Linux release put together by developers from Fermilab and CERN. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters. The base SL distribution is basically Enterprise Linux, recompiled from sources from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Are there more/other versions of SL?
Yes , there are two other versions based on SL:
SL = Scientific Linux (created by CERN and Fermilab for general use),
SLC = Scientific Linux CERN (optimised for their network) - http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific.shtml
SLF = Scientific Linux Fermilab (optimised for their network) - http://fermilinux.fnal.gov/
Of course anyone can download/use SLC or SLF at home or at work without being connected to the CERN or Fermilab network. But there are specific settings you might want to check/change. In general you should go for SL.
What are the goals from SL?
If you check out the SL website, you will read that "the main goal for the base distribution is to have everything compatible with Enterprise, with only a few minor additions or changes. An example of of items that were added are Alpine, and OpenAFS. Our secondary goal is to allow easy customization for a site, without disturbing the Scientific Linux base. The various labs are able to add their own modifications to their own site areas. By the magic of scripts, and the anaconda installer, each site is to be able to create their own distributions with minimal effort. Or, if a users wishes, they can simply install the base SL release". Just like RHEL, SL offers support for several years. More details on long term support can be found http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=17&hl=rhel.
What is the Scientific Linux Forum?
The Scientific Linux Forum is not owned, controlled or operated by people related to Scientific Linux, Fermilab or CERN. This forum is operated by several volunteers who keep this forum up and running in their free time. They come from different countries around the world with different kind of Linux experience. More details about the crew can be found http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=76.
What can users expect from SL?
Scientific Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. That means that SL offers the same as RHEL: stability and security. The software included may not be the latest or greatest but it is stable and garuanteed to work. Opposite to RHEL there is Fedora. Fedora's main objective is to offer the latest and greatest that is available (also known as "bleeding edge technology"). Scientific Linux is intended to be used in environments where long term stability is required (servers, production areas etc.) and because of this doesn't offer "bleeding edge" software. The Scientific Linux project has no commercial agenda. It is not designed to be a platform to promote Linux, nor is it designed to compete with other Linux distributions. It is produced solely to fulfil a particular need within Fermilab and CERN. In other words, they didn't create SL for us on the outside. Simply said: you are free to use it, but if it breaks or doesn't do what you would like, you can't complain to the project developers, nor to the volunteers on this forum. Fortunately the developers will try to be helpful on the SL mailinglist.
What can be expected from the Scientific Linux Forum?
Everybody who is active on this forum does this in their free time. Because everybody comes from different locations, everybody is online on different moments. The growing community on this forum will also try to help you if they can. But please be patient. Not everybody is 24/7 online. The same goes for the crew, they moderate and make sure things are going fine here. But they too have work and real lives. Nobody gets paid here so do not "demand" things from anyone on the forum.
Will SL be suitable for me?
That depends on what you expect from it. If you need or want the newest software than you might want to reconsider using SL. You might be better of with distributions like Fedora or Ubuntu. Of course it is possible to rebuild SL to suit your needs, but depending how much you change it might lead to unpredicted problems. On the other hand, if you are looking for a solid and stable Linux distribution that works without all the fireworks for several years, SL might be just the thing for you. SL can be used in all kinds of environments ranging from at home to datacenters and scientific labs. It can be used on desktop computers, laptops and tablets.
Are there problems I should know about?
Yes, there is one big problem that you could be facing. This problem is related to dependencies if you want to install software that was not created by the SL developers. If you want to use software from "other sources", you might have to enable 3rd party repositories in order to solve dependencies. It is possible to use 3rd party repositories to update or add software to Scientific Linux. Please remember that the use of any non-SL repos (and especially if you mix several 3rd party repos) is entirely up to you. Many 3rd party repositories are mutually incompatible and will cause dependency issues and conflicts, as well as stability issues, if used together. If something as a result breaks, you get to keep the pieces. You do this at your own risk. So please make sure you know what you do. More details on the 3rd party repos can be found http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=266.

Honoring the Greatest Generation
"I'm overwhelmed," said Dr. Charles Moore, after being recognized Saturday by a crowd of applauders for his service in the Second World War.
"I had no idea it would be this special."
Dozens of veterans of the World War II from Oktibbeha County received cheers as former Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck called out their names and local Boy Scouts handed them steel medallions of honor, illustrating the famous photograph of the flag riasing during the battle of Iwo Jima.
The U.S. soldiers, many who were 18 when they lived in foxholes in German forests or flew B-24s over Europe, sat in rows decorated with patriotic bows inside the crowded ballroom of Colvard Student Union on the Mississippi State University campus, where some of them trained to become pilots and military heroes.
"We deeply appreciate your sacrifice," said U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, a veteran of the U.S. Naval Reserve whose legislative record includes the National Missile Defense Act of 1999.
Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum members Joan Wilson and Bill Poe, who organized Saturday's celebration, said they simply wanted to show appreciation to World War II veterans such as Roscoe Anderson, who will reach 100 years of age in November and was able to attend the commemoration.
Oktibbeha County has a comparatively large number of veterans who fought in the war and also of and men and women who supported them from home by holding scrap iron and paper drives and saving their money to buy war bonds.
"Mississippi was on the forefront of those who answered the call when the war began," MSU President Mark Keenum said.
Well-versed in MSU's military-related history, Dr. Roy Ruby, who has served a long tenure as one of MSU's top administrators, delivered a detailed account of what took place during the war, which recorded a total of seven deaths of soldiers from Oktibbeha County, though Ruby suspects there were more.
"Part of the greatest generation lived right here," Ruby said.
Saturday's event was the local commemoration of the 65th Anniversary of the end of World War II for the U.S., which deployed 16 million people in service and lost 400,000 of them.
"Today we celebrate you, the true patriots of America," Tuck said as the large crowd in the Union ballroom stood up and applauded, some with tears in their eyes, all happy to honor the veterans.

Westbound I-20 lanes closed again for bridge demolition
Both main lanes of westbound Interstate 20 at the US 84 overpass in Nolan County are temporarily closed starting to allow crews to demolish and remove a bridge that was damaged after a collision in late September.The closure is expected to remain in effect for about a week. Traffic will be detoured to US 84 Business and routed around the overpass before being directed back to westbound I-20. The 3/4 mile detour is the same route that was used immediately following the collision. Signs, cones and message boards will be in place to direct drivers.Both westbound lanes of I-20 will reopen after this phase of the work is complete, but future closures will be necessary as work progresses to replace the bridge. The Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, rail, and public transportation across the state. TxDOT and its 11,000 employees are committed to working with others to provide safe and reliable transportation solutions for Texas by maintaining a safe system, addressing congestion, connecting Texas communities, and being a Best in Class state agency.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, August 8, 2010
Minority kids drown at rates 3x national average
Urban kids in the US, especially African American and Hispanic kids, are not learning to swim properly or don't enjoy the same access to public swimming facilities as white kids. Minority kids drown 300% more often than white kids. That's alarming.
For many kids, their parents don't have swimming skills and therefore the perogative to teach swimming to their own children takes a back seat to other parenting responsibilities. Availability of pools is often limited and seasons are short in northern states.
Recently, in northern Louisiana, 6 teenagers drowned, most of them siblings, in the Red River. None of them knew how to swim, and my heart grieves for the families of these young kids.
History is full of similar stories, in Washington, D.C. recently, several youths were memorialized - kids who had no safe place to swim, and no swimming skills, and were found drowned in the Anacostia River.
Managing a public swimming facility, or a private pool costs money - a lot of money. It's a simple fact that pool swimming, especially indoor swimming, is expensive. Swimming lessons are even more expensive, plus the embarrassment to us parents who have put on a few pounds and hate the idea of joining our children in an early "Mommy & Me" type swimming class.
For cash strapped families, swimming lessons are seemingly impossible to afford. But so necessary. Imagine your child growing up with a phobia of water, unable to enjoy swimming, boating, floating, rafting, sailing - and very likely to pass on this lack of skill to their own children.
I was happy to find an organization doing something to make a change - created by the USA Swimming Foundation, called Make A Splash. When you make a pledge to the Make a Splash Sponsor a Swim Lesson program, you're helping to support local programs all across America that provide swim lessons to children who would not otherwise have access to them.
Let's have a Safe Summer - Parents, teach your babies how to swim! If you're a parent in need of swim lessons, contact Make A Splash above, or find creative and safe opportunities to practice swimming with your children. It's one of the best gifts you can give to your kids - swimming is so healthy, great fun and swim lessons saves lives!

Let's Map Out A Plan by Locating Facts In Informational Text!
Lesson 7 of 7
Objective: SWBAT use text features, including maps and captions, to locate facts in a digital text.
- This eduplace interactive website about explorers has a great map but no text. It will be for demonstration to get the kids excited.
- This phschool interactive website about explorers is used in the lesson because it has great text for you to read with the students.
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall:illustration, map, text feature, informational text
- Target vocabulary from text (explorer, journey, adventure, destination)
- 'Let's Map It Out' worksheet
- informational text feature' - (use the map visual)
- 'World Map' for each student
- Ipads or computers for groups with internet access
- Screen and overhead to show the routes to the kids
- Put worksheet format on the board
The internet websites for the explorer map websites are listed above. They can be accessed from a computer or iPad. They are VERY easy to use and really fun for the kids. Take a few moments to explore them so you can demonstrate them during the lesson.

Let's Get Excited
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words.
Gain interest and bring students to a common learning point
- Pull up the website. "We've talked about early American explorers. Today we're going to read and find out more about these men."
- "I have a cool website to show you - you can read about an explorer and then see an 'interactive' map of the route that he took."
- Review the ideas:
- Explorers came from many countries
- They explored all over America
- Explorers came for many reasons
- Review the target vocabulary on whiteboard that you choose.
- "Let's pick an explorer and see where he went." Show some of the explorers and their routes. Here's what it looked like when I was gaining students' interest & giving background knowledge.
Although I don't like to 'front load' lessons with a lot of information (I like to keep the focus on the text), I wanted to spend a few moments reviewing the ideas of explorers since there was SO much information that we covered the day before. We have been talking about early World Exploration and it was worth spending a few moments on vocabulary and names, which went a long way toward allowing the kids to have an overall picture before they started answering specific questions about the topic. Anytime we have new information in a text that's loaded with text features, I tend to spend 2 days on the information. On the first day, we get an overall picture and I teach the vocabulary and concepts. The second day we go back and review the vocabulary and concepts before applying them to a new learning situation (the website).

Teachers' Turn
Model how to use the website and garner information
- Pull up the phschool website with text and informational features. "Take a look at this other website that has a text features and informational text for us to read."
- "We've talked about Christopher Columbus before."
- "Do you remember where he left from and where he went to?"
- Take a look - I'll click on his name and let's read the information."
- "There is some good informational text on this website that let's me know more about his voyage!"
- Read the information.
Highlight the idea of a text feature
- "This map is a text feature". Put the 'map' visual on the board for students.
- "How does this map help me understand what I just read better?" Take ideas. (find places, show where to go)
- "Text features, like a map, add to and support what we read. The text says that he left Spain. I can look at my map to see where that is. It says that he took several voyages. Watch as I show the voyages that he took." (Show the route interactively.)
- "Do you take the time to look at maps and other text features when you read? Now that you're in second grade, you'll see lots of text features in our informational texts. If you want to be a better reader, take the time to look at them and see how they help you."
As students know and use informational text features to locate key facts and information in a text efficiently, they are analyzing the sturcuter of texts and how those features (chapters, sections, glossaries, etc) bring meaning to the text (RI.2.5) Students are participating in 'close reading', looking at not only the text, but the illustrations and text features that carry so much information.
Explain the task
- "On the board, there's an organizer that we'll fill out about the explorer. I'll use the text on the website and the interactive map to help me fill it out." (To see how I set this up, look at my whiteboard example.)
- Highlight some target vocabulary as you do this... ('famous' 'birthplace' 'education' for biographies) related to the topic (especially if its related to your social studies unit)
- "There are actually lots of maps on this website. Look at all of the explorers and the routes that they've taken. Today you'll be reading more about these explorers." Here's a video of our discussion about explorer routes.

Students Take A Turn
Explain the task
- "Now it's your turn to do some reading and exploration." Pass out the worksheets.
- "I'll read over the text for each explorer to the students from the website and show you the maps too. As I read, look at the map. "Wow, look at the map - it shows where he went. I'm glad we have this text feature to help us see how far North that explorer went. I would not know that from the text only."
Read the information
- "Now let's pick out 3 explorers to write about. Let's start this together because this text is sort of hard to read. Then we'll break into groups to finish the information."
- When we finish the worksheet by looking at the digital information, then I'll give you your own map to draw where your explorer went."
Work in groups
- "Now that you've started the worksheet, I want you to go in groups (or individually if you have enough computers or iPads) and finish the chart."
- "Use your ipads/computers with the website to go back and look at the routes one more time. Remember our iPad Rules to keep the technology safe." There's a video how it looks to have the students students using the website.
- Remember the rules for good group work. I referenced our group rules poster.
- Here are pictures of students working (completing the worksheet, map and working on the computer).
- Walk around and check student progress. A few of my students said, "How do I find out where he went? I reminded them.... "Did you look at the map?" Ask students, "What does 'voyage' mean - that word is on the board? Does the map give you a better idea than the text alone?"
- Here's a completed student worksheet to help you see a finished product.
- "Raise your hand when you're done. I'll give you a map and you can draw the route of your favorite explorer. Use the website to help you. Write his name on your map."
Continue who to model how to explain how this specific image (maps) contribute to and make the text clearer. (RI.2.7). The shift in Common Core Standards require students to go beyond the words and use maps, captions, pictures, etc to gain information. This will continue beyond 2nd grade into later years as students probe deeper into these informational text features to answer more complex questions and use them as evidence to support their answers.
Resources (5)
Apply What You've Learned!
Sharing ideas
- "Who would like to come up and share your favorite explorer? Tell us why you think he is interesting. Where did he go? Why did he explore? Where was he from? How did the map in this website help you understand him better? Can you use the website to show the path the explorer took?"
- Here's a nice example of one of my students Student sharing her ideas.
- Ask questions about their worksheets and maps to prompt them to explain more...."Where did he go in America? Is that close to our state? Did he go inland or just on the coast?"
- Make comments about how the map helps us understand more information. This text feature adds ideas and insight into the text. Take a look at the pictures of my students' maps: completed map 1 and completed map 2.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with limited ability will need to work with the teacher or a partner to read. This could be done for the whole class. They could work in small groups as partners and only one person could read as others give insight to the worksheet.
Students with more ability should be challenged to explain more about explorers. I would ask for more insight – "Why did they go toward Mexico to find gold? Why did Henry Hudson travel down the lakes into America and Canada?"

Stoke City v Liverpool
Carling Cup Fourth Round
Britannia Stadium
Wednesday, October 26th: 19:45
Team News
Jermaine Pennant is unlikely to face his former club as he nurses a hamstring problem, while Danny Higginbotham could play for the first time since April.
Jonathan Woodgate's three game absence with a calf injury could come to an end as he seeks to return to lead a Stoke City defence that has conceded just four goals in nine league outings.
Liverpool will be able to call upon midfielder Lucas for the trip to the Britannia Stadium, while Daniel Agger's brief appearance against Norwich City puts him in contention to feature.
Dalglish demands ruthlessness in attack
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is urging his players to take their chances when his side travel to Stoke City in the Carling Cup fourth round.
September's Barclays Premier League meeting, although won by Stoke, was dominated by the Reds with Luis Suarez guilty of missing opportunities to snatch a point.
The Uruguayan was found wanting in front of goal again against Norwich on Saturday, as The Reds suffered a second successive draw, and Dalglish hopes his strikers can hit their straps in the League Cup.
"If we can create that many chances, or half that many chances, in a lot of games we'll score four or five," said Dalglish.
"But it's all very well and good creating the chances, we've got to make the goalkeeper work a little bit harder as well."
"[The players] are not going to get into the habit of accepting a 1-1 draw at home, and they also won't accept not working the goalkeeper harder than what we did on Saturday when we get into good positions," Dalglish added.
"Their disappointment is pleasant for us to see because at the end of the day, they want to win games the same as we do.
"For us, the most important thing is their attitude and approach to the game because they've got tonnes of ability."
Liverpool lead the way with seven League Cup wins, and with comfortable victories over Exeter City and Brighton & Hove Albion the club look destined to continue their impressive relationship with the trophy they last won in 2003.
While The Reds will attempt to juggle their cup run with trying to qualify for the Champions League, Stoke have their own Europa Legaue commitments to deal with, but that isn't stopping Tony Pulis from dreaming of another trip to Wembley.
The Potters were narrowly beaten by Manchester City in last season's FA Cup final, and the boss is targeting another run this season.
"I don't think our football club will win the Premier League in the next few years," Pulis admitted.
"So our biggest aim is to stay in the league, that's our priority, but what we also want to do is try to do well in the cup competitions.
"That includes the Europa League, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup.
"We had a great time last year, going to Wembley, it was absolutely fantastic. It galvanised everybody, it galvanised the city, it galvanised the club.
"So we will do our best in all the cup competitions.
"We've got a tough game against Liverpool, but we'll pick a team to try to win that game. We'll do our damnedest, that's what we are trying to achieve."

£1.4bn rogue trader guilty of fraud
A rogue trader who lost £1.4 billion in bad deals which nearly brought down a major international bank has been found guilty of fraud.
At one point during his run of losses, rising star City trader Kweku Adoboli, 32, stood to run up losses of 12 billion US dollars (£7.5 billion) for employer UBS.
The Ghanaian-born former public schoolboy exceeded his multi million-pound trading limits and failed to hedge trades, allegedly faking records to cover his tracks at the Swiss bank's London office.
He admitted the losses but claimed that he was pressured by staff to take risks, culminating in bad deals which wiped £2.8 billion off the bank's share value when they were discovered.
The jury at Southwark Crown Court, in London, has convicted him of one count of fraud linked to the £1.4 billion loss. The panel is still deliberating on one further count of fraud and four counts of false accounting between October 2008 and September last year.
Trial judge Mr Justice Keith gave the jury a majority verdict direction, saying they could deliver a 9-1 verdict on the remaining five charges. The jury has been reduced to five men and five women after two jurors were discharged.
Adoboli joined UBS as a graduate trainee in 2003 and, at the time of the fraud, worked for its global synthetic equities division, buying and selling exchange traded funds (ETFs), which track different types of stocks, bonds or commodities such as metals.
The prosecution argued that he was a gambler who believed he had the "magic touch". But, giving evidence, he said everything he had done was aimed at benefiting the bank, where he viewed his colleagues as "family".
Adoboli said he had "lost control in the maelstrom of the financial crisis", and was doing well until he changed from a conservative "bearish" position to an aggressive "bullish" stance under pressure from senior managers.
He told the jury that staff were encouraged to take risks until they got "a slap on the back of the wrist".

MBUSA To Add 30 New Models Over The Next Seven Years
Company Preparing For Biggest Growth Phase in Its History According to CEO Cannon
Feb 19, 2013, 06:12 EST
MONTVALE, N.J., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Cannon, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today told members of the International Motor Press Association (IMPA) that the company plans to introduce 30 new models in the next seven years. He said this will constitute the biggest growth phase in MBUSA's history here in the U.S.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100901/NY58315LOGO)
"We just had the highest sales year in our history and carried that over to our best January on record. And, according to just released registration data, more customers put a Mercedes-Benz in their driveway last year than any other luxury make," Cannon said. "We're going to take this forward with a continuing influx of innovative new products for our current owners and we'll enter other segments to bring new buyers to the brand." Cannon estimated that the product offensive would average out to a new vehicle every quarter for the next seven years.
For 2013, the high points for the company will be a new generation of its flagship S-Class model line as well as a resetting of the "gateway to the Mercedes-Benz brand" with the introduction of the all new CLA, a 208-hp turbocharged four door coupe with aggressive styling and a base price to match ($29,900 MSRP). Both these models will arrive in the fall.
The CLA250, with its AMG and 4MATIC all-wheel drive counterparts, is particularly important to MBUSA which ranks number one in loyalty within the luxury market. "The CLA will have the highest conquest of any of our models. This combination of top conquest and top loyalty means that when we bring new buyers to the brand, they tend to stay with us. Broadening our product offering helps ensure that whatever their needs, we have something in our portfolio for them," said Cannon.
MBUSA will also refresh in between its high-end and entry point in the spring when it brings in a "facelift" of its popular E-Class model line which will include 8,000 refinements to the current model line. The E-Class consists of sedan, coupe, cabriolet and wagon models as well as high-performance AMG models. BlueTEC clean diesels and hybrid models are also part of the lineup.
"From top to bottom, we're going to reinvent and reinvigorate the Mercedes-Benz brand over the next few years and bring it to new places in this market both with product and with the customer experience," said Cannon.

With Google's recent changes removing most of the remaining organic keyword data, I thought I'd round up some of the workarounds and alternatives for measuring organic traffic.
Of course, nothing can really substitute for the real data and, as pointed out here, it may force SEOs to analyse a greater breadth of data, and to look at things like organic performance per page, not just per keyword.
Until then, here are some tips and alternatives to organic keyword data...
Try and steal some of the data back from Google
This 'hack' from Dan Barker was written when Google first began to encrypt organic referral data.
The post explains the process in full, but this is what it does in a nutshell:
- Looks for '(not provided)' search terms.
- Where it finds them, it looks to see which page the visitor landed on.
- It then changes your keywords report in Google Analytics to show those two pieces of information (the fact that Google suppressed the keyword, and the landing page), rather than just the utterly anonymous '(not provided)'.
Use your site search data
Data from site search contains a wealth of insight, and can be even more valuable now that organic keyword data is such a rare commodity.
It's so valuable as it's likely that the patterns of use and the terms used by customers in your site search will be similar to those used in Google.
This insight can then be used to build a list of target keywords for optimisation.
Use historical analytics data
This is by no means perfect but old data still has value, especially when looking at seasonal trends.
Use AdWords data
Cynics (and there are plenty of those) would say that this is just what Google wanted you to do when removing the referral data, but it does remain a key source of information now that organic data has all but vanished.
Use data from Bing/Yahoo
This is a possible solution, and will provide some insight, but Google's sheer dominance of the search market means that there just isn't much of it.
According to Neil Yeomans, Head of SEO at Lakestar McCann:
While Bing and Yahoo! might give some insights to the performance of non-brand keywords the volumes are tiny in comparison to Google, so is the depth of the long-tail, which is far greater than other search engines.
The (not provided) kit
Also from Dan Barker, this is a set of add ons for Google Analytics users which will help you make sense of the remaining data.
It includes things like a custom report that analyses the information around the landing pages that (not provided) users land on.
Use Google's paid and organic report
The paid and organic report, announced recently by Google, which is "the first to let you see and compare your performance for a query when you have either an ad, an organic listing, or both appearing on the search results page".
And finally...
Hit users with a pop-up
This solution, from @RavenJon is genius. If Google won't give you the data, just demand it from visitors with an intrusive pop-up. What could possibly go wrong?
Comments (19)
One other way is through the Search Queries Report in Webmaster Tools. This report is far more useful than it used to be and gives you some good insight into keywords, average position and the number of times you appeared for that term. If you haven't been into this report in quite some time it's definitely worth checking out again.
Or you could start asking your clients to tell their customers to use Bing?
I don't know how I feel about having the pop-up for your visitors. You might get some data but how many other visitors will it annoy? I suppose it's worth testing at least and mining whatever information you can out of it.
I'd be interested to see the results from that pop-up.
My instinctive (non-expletive-filled) response would be something along the lines of "wouldn't you like to know" or "fish" or something similar.
The author knows this, but just for the record – in case you didn't pick up on it – my pop-up idea is a joke :)
There's a bunch of information you can still pickup from the Google referral string; rank of the clicked link, type of link, Google local variation etc.
More details;
Or just buy a monthly subscription to Vanessa Fox's Blueprint Analytics tool?
With organic keyword search data no longer readily available (depending on your inclination to use the above tips), it's time to turn to the more powerful interest data you can infer from onsite behaviour.
The next step in understanding and targeting will not be predicated upon keyword searches, but understanding the topics and concepts within the content being searched for.
It's what Google are doing (see here: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/30/google-news-personalised-serendipitous), and it's what brands should be seeking to do as well (see here: http://www.theguardian.com/media-network/2013/aug/21/content-marketing-analytics)
Or try the http://www.notprovidedtool.com
This uses neural networks to learn visitor patterns and behaviour to suggest keywords used to drive the visit.
Just checked the Search Queries Report in Webmaster Tools. Didn't recognise it. Very useful tool - many thanks Emma North for that.
The pop up is a good idea, but I doubt you would get any decent data back. Would love to hear about anyone who has acyually tried it.
Yeah that pop up is classic! Maybe redirecting all Google referrals back to the homepage of Bing would do it too. Nuts
Further to my comment earlier this morning, I wrote a follow-up post.
Should be of interest to anyone that wants to know how online behaviour tracking could help circumnavigate the Google "Not Provided" problem: http://www2.idioplatform.com/l/20742/2013-10-08/5bjgc
I've found that some engines powered by Google, e.g. AOL, are still showing the keyword search term. This gives pretty good aggregate data for sites with large visitor volumes.
The problem is when you want to look at the detail of reports such as the Multi Channel Funnel. You end up doing a lot of guessing for the organic data but get the exact match data for Adwords derived terms.
While I am a bit of a cynic (I.e. Google looking to increase search ad revenue). As Google move towards natural language (intelligent) search, users wouldn't want any random websites to see what they were searching for (in the instances that Google gets it really wrong...) Certain sites could easily tie a really personal search query to a registered user..
While from a marketing perspective we are all impacted, from a user privacy perspective it is for the best...
I personally would be extremely cautious and in actual fact wouldn't bother running the risk of messing around with your Google Analytic's account as discussed from the outset of this post, especially when you are probably not going to extract the extra information you are after, while potentially damaging your stats.
Historical data is useful, but do note as search engines advance, so to do our inquiry search terms, hence Google's new algorithm Hummingbird looking for the answers across the internet for longer based question or semantics, therefore making our search enquirers different over time...
AdWords data can be extremely helpful as long as you have an AdWords account, Google recently removed their FREE keyword tool and replaced it with there keyword planner, which is only available to AdWords customers, and make sure that if you do utilise this tool, the competition rate will be different for PPC and SEO...
Bing and Yahoo are also handy but only up to a certain degree, if we don't know how to work a computer then we are more inclined to use Yahoo and or Bing. Why?? Because that is what was set on your browser when you purchased your PC.... 93% of searches are made on Google in the UK and about 96% in the US, so unless you are a little village shop supplying tea cozies to the likes of Dot in Dagenham you may not find adequate and worthy enough results to then utilise for your campaign...
Paid and organic reports are very much the same results found in the new keyword planner.
And finally, be cautious when using any Pop-ups on your website especially on the home page, as a proportion of these can have an adverse effect on your SEO as Google can see these as advertorials...
Good Luck!
